The Things I do to Stay Awake!! (Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies!!)

Today was so brutal..  OMG!!!  we were so busy up until time for me to leave.. I didn't stop all day..  It was a good day though..  but when I got home I was so tired and after changing and sitting for a minute to chill I was fast asleep on the couch..  if only I could fall asleep that fast at night..  :)  So after I dropped Saundra off at work and decided what to cook for dinner I was going through my email and came across a recipe for Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies and well,  since I had all the ingredients I decided that I needed to make them..

Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c chocolate chunks or chips, milk or semi-sweet
1 stick butter
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c chocolate chunks or chips


In a bowl mix the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda, set aside.. melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water..  while that is melting put the sugar in a large mixing bowl and add the eggs one at a time mixing well,  then add the vanilla.. turn the mixer to low speed and slowly pour the chocolate mixture in..  mix well and then add the flour a little at a time..  then add the chocolate chips..   scrape sides down and drop by rounded tbsp or using a 1 inch cookie scoop place 12 on a baking sheet sprayed with vegetable spray and bake in a 325 degree oven for 9 minutes..  they are so yummy..  definitely a keeper in my cookie arsenal..  :)
